Re: House Finches



Some species, such as American Robins and Blue Jays back east, are known to disappear for a feew weeks time, only to be replaced by different members of the species, kind of like a "replacement migration".  Perhaps House Finches are on this same boat?

The House Finch seem to be at normal levels in my yard.  House Sparrows seem to be at increased levels.  It will be interesting to compare the numbers of these two species, as Steve questions the numbers with the upcoming Christmas Bird Counts (CBC).  These CBC's prove very valuable in this particular way, recognizing trends whether up or down and distribution in bird species.
